HEINRICH STRUNZ, OF AITREPPEN, NEAR DELLBRUCK, GERMANY.

GUARD FOR LEATHER LEGGINGS.

Application filed October 18, 1927, Serial No. 226,921, and in Germany October 29, 1926.

10 tive view of the ini roved uard Fi 4: is a crossseetion on the line 4-4: of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a side view of a'legging and of a boot on which it is worn, the lower rear part of the legging being broken away to show 15 the position of the guard thereon with refer ence to the boot.

The leather legging a is at its lower rear edge provided with a recess (Z (Fig. 1), in which fits the outwardly thickened end o of 20 a rubber or the like soft elastic insertion Z) located inside of the legging and firmly stuck thereto. Thereby, the rubber insertion forms a guard against damage of the boot 0 by the lower rear edge of the legging.

The advantage of the improvement lies in the fact that the shape of the lower rear edge of the legging remains unaltered by the insertion of the guard therein while the attachment of the latter thereto can be effected in an easy and simple manner.

IVhat I claim is The combination with a leather legging having a recess at its lower rear edge, of a guard of soft elastic material having an outwardly thickened end and located inside of and firmly stuck to the legging with its thickened end fitting the recess therein.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

. HEINRICH STRUNZ.
